Gli Integrali BD #45

The second installment of Editoriale Aurea's three-part Tyler Cross collection arrives with a cover by Brüno that says everything without a word: a powerfully built man in striped prison pants stands shackled in heavy chains, dwarfing a rifle-toting guard and a row of fellow prisoners behind him. That stark teal-and-black palette gives the image a cool, menacing tension entirely in keeping with the hard-boiled world that Fabien Nury and Brüno built together. If "Angola" is on the spine, you already know this isn't a story about easy escapes.
